Hi Mike

I have been reading your posts and I believe I can explain what is currently happening. To clarify some of your comments I have been the President for the last 16 months. Doug Smith retired from the position on the last election cycle and I took over. Sheldon Smith was the last Publicity Chairman and has been replaced by Rich Burgel. I have had no prior knowledge of your desire to assume the position which you feel you were passed over for.

I cannot speak for the circumstances concerning you not being appointed the position. The Current Board members except for David Spragg are all new, and I assure you we are not part of any old boys club. To the contrary our only goal is to make the club better in a open and positive way.

The publicity Chairman's main function is too highlight and promote our events and actions to the public, to inform them of who and what we are. Having the Publicity Chairman submit articles and news in the club magazine would not bring in any new members as the only people seeing the magazine are already members. The magazine is for the entertainment and the education of our existing membership.

There are constant requests by our editors for articles for the magazine. You are certainly welcome to become a contributor with any interest you may have. I'm sure you would be welcomed with open arms. I don't see any obstacle from you becoming a regular contributor to our magazine.

I don't see your opinions as something negative, but instead frustrating. If you sincerely believe in what your saying then join the team and start contributing to the publication.

Please feel free to call me at 720-939-2848 to further discuss how you can help make our club better!! You will find me very receptive.

Thank You for your post

Jerry Vergatos LM-8093-241
President
